Abstract

A method and apparatus for performing access management of a memory device in a Host Performance Booster (HPB) architecture with aid of device side table information are provided. The method may include: sending internal information of the memory device to a host device, to allow the host device to store the internal information of the memory device in a memory within the host device as host side table information at the host device; generating and storing multiple entries of at least one address mapping control table into a random access memory (RAM) as at least one portion of device side table information at the memory device; determining at least two physical addresses associated with at least two logical addresses according to the at least one address mapping control table; and reading data from the NV memory according to the at least two physical addresses.
